I believe this rumour came from 'Football Insider' who aren't reliable and this Guardian piece just rounds up rumours from other websites.Linked from various sources, this appeared in the Guardian so here it is.......Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey.......
No, my little sisters first boyfriend had the same name and I hated the little shit. Won’t ever warm to this player, think we should leave.
This. Maybe a loan back would entice them but honestly, we need defensive help badly and a loan back wouldnt suit usCould be tricky to get him from Norwich in the middle of the season.

Can't see us getting anyone significant in Jan. Moura is the only example I can think of and he was out of favour.
EDIT: Also PSG had FFP issues if I remember right.
Or players with release clauses.Yup. The teams we can buy from in January, without paying huge fees, are smaller teams (easier outside England) that can be bullied because of financial issues and getting players from teams that don't play them (like Moura). Otherwise we could try to secure someone for free in the summer and pay them a small amount now, but that rarely works.
It's not looking bright either way. Maybe loaning someone if we really need it (I don't know what Mourinho's stance is on this for the season).

It was DovahkiinHerc mentioned we were going in for a Prem CB or 2 in Jan. Everyone presumed Ake but maybe the 1st priority is Godfrey
Not convinced Norwich will go down. They had awful injuries and since their players have come back they have beaten Everton and drawn to Arsenal and should have won.We were linked with Godfrey in the summer but he signed a new contract instead. It’s now approaching Jan and Norwich are looking like relegation certainties. Do Norwich pray for a miracle, hold on to him, go down anyways and lose him for a low amount, or accept they’re pretty much buggered and get circa £30m for him in Jan? Fulham played this game with Sessegnon and lost out big time.
